Commodores' Cup starting grid

Commodores' Cup starting grid

The mighty of the Mediterranean, from the TP52s to the Mini Maxis up to the Wallys, are currently competing at the Hublot PalmaVela where yesterday conditions only allowed one race to be held. Today, perhaps a little prematurely as its timing has shifted from June to August, we look at how the 2010 Rolex Commodores’ Cup is shaping up with a strong team from Hong Kong shortly to be announced and the UK and France both expected to field three or four teams. On Sunday the heroes of French shorthanded sailing take to the water in Concarneau for the Figaro class’ Transat AG2R La Mondiale. The forecast is for a light downwind exit from the Bay of Biscay, the wind going onto the nose as they pass Portugal.
